# HAZARD COMMUNICATION

The [**Hazard Communication Plan**](https://kb.astate.edu/attachments/454 "Hazard Communication Plan") is a program that is intended to inform workers of the chemical hazards in the areas where they work. This program is in compliance with [Arkansas Department of Labor Safety Code #12 Public Employees' Chemical Right to Know Act.](https://www.labor.arkansas.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Chemical-Right-to-Know.pdf "Arkansas Department of Labor Safety Code #12 Public Employees' Chemical Right to Know Act.") It is required that workers have access to Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for the chemicals used in their area. A safety data sheet may be found by doing an internet search or by searching the University's SDS inventory.

Training is a key requirement in implementing a Hazard Communication program. Training can be found in the University's Learning Management System (LMS) Taleo Learn, found on your [Pack Portal](https://kb.astate.edu/pack.astate.edu) page.
